November 2018 Astro-Energy Report – Observing the Stories of Our Lives

At an elemental level November 2018 is all about fire and water. A Grand Trine which began to form at the end of October features significantly throughout this month, accentuating the creative force of fire and the intuitive nature of water. Fire is anger and passion, desire and resistance, inspiration and the impetus to be made new through courageous engagement with life itself. Water is the world of emotions and sensitivity, intuition and spirit, tenderness, oneness and overwhelm. We may drown in our emotions or be refreshed by them; delight in the intimacy of shared feelings or be overcome by a lack of boundaries and the impingement of the world around us. Throughout this month we must strive to balance inspiration with intuition, anger with empathy, tenderness with courage and resistance with surrender. External struggles may trigger emotional meltdown but still we must stand strong in the world and say our piece, make our mark. We may have to fight when we’d prefer to retreat or withdraw to contemplate the world rather than struggle to change it.

Attention to the subtle nuance of each moment will be necessary. The perceptual impact of heightened emotion and the fires of inspiration or anger must be carefully discerned. But most importantly we will need to connect with the subtle knowing that lies beneath all of this, steady and stable, neither you nor me nor anyone else: just the flow of energy and essence underpinning each moment from cradle to grave. It is from this flow that we can draw energy in each moment, pure and untainted by an obsessive mind or broken heart, by shame or regrets, grief or despair. Free even of the joys and delights that hook us into a worldly narrative of good and bad, right and wrong. This energetic presence that lies beneath – the source of our being – remains forever true to the moment and free of all that binds us to the world.

From this place of quiet clarity we can know what’s called for in each moment. When to speak and when to remain silent. When to act, when to step back, when to insist and when to yield. This month invites us to engage with life from a deeper place where wisdom flows like a fresh mountain stream, born of intimacy with all things and embodiment of the wise heart which sees beyond the deceptions of the world to its radiant core.

Mercury entered Sagittarius on 31st October, adding fuel to our inner flame. It will remain there all this month, turning retrograde mid-November and returning briefly to Scorpio at the beginning of December. In Sagittarius, Mercury can be a bit too confident if we let it. A tad over-zealous in its expression, it may tempt us into arrogant pronouncements where open-minded enquiry would better suffice. Consequences are often out of radar range with this Mercury. We forget they exist and make decisions with little regard for them. Sometimes there’s a place for doing this and when Mercury’s in Sagittarius it’s often the case that we simply need to speak out and see what happens. But it’s important to bear in mind that this Mercury can be liberal in its interpretation of fact and fiction, as can we. It allows for all manner of ‘creative’ truths, subjective perspectives and exaggerations, just as it provides the unfettered freedom to speak one’s mind and say it like it is no holds barred.

At its best, Mercury in Sagittarius seeks grand truths that weave all things into an integrated whole. At its less than best it fosters division through its sheer fiery force of opinion which leaves no space for difference or debate. It can broadcast opinions as fact far and wide, and so might we when under its sway. The force of resistance to our pronouncements may catch us off guard if we don’t first listen carefully to what we, ourselves, are saying. Forming part of this month’s influential Grand Trine as it shifts from the water of Scorpio to the fire of Sagittarius, this Mercury reminds us that only through deep inner enquiry can we know the truth and only through the risk of honest and open expression can we share that truth with others in a meaningful way.

Throughout the next two months we’ll have plenty of opportunity to consider the stories we project upon the world to make sense of it: how we insert our personal narrative into the impersonal conditions we encounter in our lives. Using this time to observe how that narrative impacts our experience will be time well spent. Do we weave stories that allow for creative solutions or feelings of limitation and despair? Do we forever resist the conditions we dislike, refusing to discover the power of surrender to a greater force of change in the deeper recesses of our lives? Or do we have the courage to change what we can and the wisdom to let be what we can’t? Do we project a dark and disempowered future or one of possibility – both good and bad – which we, ourselves, can shape – even by the power of our attitude in each moment? Mercury’s current cycle will reveal much about the sense we make of the world and what that sense means to our on-going experience of every day.

Venus also retrograded into Libra on 31st October where she will remain until the beginning of December, turning direct on 16th November. Since turning retrograde on 5thOctober she’s revealed where we get lost in obsessive desire, allow past hurts to dictate the course of the present and seek unhelpful interpersonal drama to feel connected. As Mercury now highlights the dramas we create out of life’s twists and turns, Venus’s return to her own sign softens the edges of these realisations, allowing us to share with others insight seeded in recent weeks.  If relationships have revealed their problematic sides of late, it doesn’t necessarily mean an end is called for. The solution may be far more subtle. Better communication may be necessary, or a deeper understanding of the different ways in which we express love. We may benefit from an agreement to air grievances as they arise, not let them fester for a later date. Or perhaps committing to quality time together as a priority, not a luxury, will help us connect at a more intimate level once more.

Venus retrograde in Libra allows us to find love for self and others. She relights the flames of intimacy and the warmth of appreciation, recasting difficulties in the light of busy lives, stressed-out minds and troubled hearts in need of gentle care. It is always true that some relationships simply don’t survive Venus’s retrograde cycle and were never meant to. Their time has come and moving apart is the only way. But for many, gentle and more nuanced shifts of time and attention can release the healing balm of acceptance and forgiveness which forges a more loving and intimate path ahead.

Throughout November, Venus reaches out her wise and gentle hand to any and all who seek greater intimacy and a more heartfelt exchange with life itself. She wants us connected – with each other and ourselves – guided by the heart and relaxed in the warm embrace of love. Together with Mercury in Sagittarius she reminds us that love really does make the world go around, but it comes in many different forms. The more open we can be to giving and receiving it in all its guises, the safer and gentler the world will be. Which is exactly what the North Node’s shift into Cancer on 6th November is all about. So stay tuned for more on that soon!

November 2018 Energy Update

Lee Harris
a message from Lee Harris

This is a transcript of the Lee’s spoken November Energy Update video.

Magic, Feminine Energy Rising And Review Times
Review Times

Last month I spoke about the presence of a collective identity shift; that many of us are going through a period of deep review around your life, your choices, your relationships, the things that you are doing in the world. This process will continue strongly in November, and you may experience daydreams and flashbacks to other times, other relationships, other places in your life. This is your life-review and ‘life-update’ in progress. Part of that involves a revisiting of past experiences and life events at high speed. The opportunity is to let you see them differently now, to let you see how far you have come, or to learn something from them with the new perspective you have in the now. As we go through these review periods we are having a clearout; it’s no different to clearing out the cupboards at home. We start to lift and rearrange the emotional, psychic and psychological debris inside ourselves when we have a clearout like this. You are not alone – we are changing our patterns individually AND collectively right now in part due to this extraordinarily potent and fast time of transformation.

Elevated Energies

November is going to be a month of very elevated energy.

This can go two ways. When elevated energy is playing out in the world, it can either lift us very quickly into much higher experiences than we’ve been recently having – where things in life start to flow and connect and you may feel happier or more alive than you have recently. But equally, these elevated energy periods of time can expose where things are stuck or too anchoring in our lives. So you may see even more problems in relationships, situations, or areas of your life that are stuck rising up to the surface. So for example, if money is a struggle for you or if there’s another area where you have a chronic pattern at play, you may get to the breaking point where you are tired of the story and it doesn’t feel true to you anymore. November can be a month where that stuckness rises to the surface quite aggressively, because this elevated energy is moving anything that is no longer serving us into a more visible, felt place. Ask yourself, what am I ready to be done with? What am I ready to change about this pattern? And write some notes, set an intention and take some new actions toward creating that new goal. This is how we move toward and into the elevation energy.

Giving And Receiving

Where are you in the balance of giving and receiving? The dance between these two poles will be sharply in focus through November and how it shows up for you will be highly personal.

Is there a part of you that is compelled to give or perhaps has over-given in your life? So in ‘giving’ mode, you never leave room or space to receive from others because you are too busy giving? Perhaps you don’t really have much to give out right now and that part of you needs a rest. Or perhaps you feel it is time for you to learn to be more kind and giving in your life?

In terms of receiving it might be that this month you are on the receiving end of more love, more energy, more resources, more money than you are used to being in the experience of and this is really important.

Part of moving into an elevated energy or a new identity is that our outer circumstances change in tandem with what we are able to create and nurture in our core beliefs and patterns. When we can truly open to the present moment, we receive so much as there is so much right here for all of us. So this giving and receiving energy dance is going to be showing up and asking you to create perhaps new boundaries, perhaps give out more than usual (if that isn’t your normal) and perhaps be more open to receiving and allowing that in.

There is a big balancing effect around giving and receiving taking placein Novemberthat many of us will see play out in our lives in very specific ways.

Feminine Energy

Feminine Energy is rising on our planet, but we have devalued the feminine energy in our society for so long that it has become normal to not see, recognize or honor it. Masculine energy has been the energy that has been celebrated, more seen and nurtured. So as the fire of feminine energy is coming alive on the planet, it is affecting all of us – men, women and those who are gender fluid, as we all possess both masculine and feminine energy.

The rising feminine is currently coming out strongly through people’s voices so you may be finding more of a fire around speaking your truth, especially to people or in situations that previously you may have been hesitant with what you feel needs to be said. We all run on programs and our society puts us in these formations and boxes with each other that we often don’t break out of, so our soul truth is often squashed. One of the messages that came through in this month’s MP3 (Feminine Energy Rising) was that the masculine on the planet cannot progress and evolve if we don’t let the feminine energy in. It is now rising strongly in us all.

So think about this for yourself; Is there somebody, or some scenario that you have been silencing yourself around that actually you are ready to speak to now? You might be surprised at how capable you are of speaking your truth in a way that it is well received. But also, the other person (and all the changes they too have been going through in the last months and years) might now be more capable of hearing it than you think.

Grounded Magic

Magic is on a high right now. When grounded magic shows up in our life, we experience fast connections, opportunities, flow, joy and the feeling that we are living a life that is far bigger than what our eyes alone might have been previously able to see. You feel more connected to the idea that anything is possible when magic energies are around. There might be people coming into your life that you have really special experiences with this month, there might be some really synchronistic opportunities, invitations and happenings too; things that you can’t quite believe are happening in front of you, but they are. And that will facilitate some positive collaborations and creations among people which will benefit others in both the short and long-term.

This experience of magic is how the Universe is speaking louder to those of us who are wanting to listen (and those who have become capable of listening) so that universal energy can start to flow into our daily actions and creations. This leads to more heart connection within ourselves and with each other. It is deeper heart connection that will cause us to be more humane to one another and the planet, and that’s what we truly need at the moment.

Thank you everybody, I hope you have a fantastic November and take good care of yourselves.

Big Love

November 2018 Energy Report

November 2018 Energy Report

Jennifer Hoffman
a message from Jennifer Hoffman

November is a month for intentional action as we’ll see old cycles end as new ones begin, big changes in spiritual understanding and awareness, and space created for new energies so we can expand into greater multi-dimensional potentials and realities. November’s keywords are justice and karma with a strong 11-11 vibration, as the 11th month in an 11 year. We haven’t had this kind of energy since November 2009 and at that time we were nowhere near as awake and aware as we are now. Are you ready for an exciting, action-packed month? It’s here so let’s get started.

The entire year has a strong 11 vibration (2018 is an 11 year) which is the number of the initiate on the spiritual mastery path. 11 is the first of the 3 mastery numbers and we tend to forget that the initiate is charting new spiritual territory and learns by trial and error, it’s the first step on the mastery path. We can expect to encounter challenges and have doubts about our abilities, but our lesson is to learn from them and forge ahead, integrating the lessons into our next steps.

In November we have access to the result of several decades of lessons to apply to our new path. With the nodes and Jupiter changing signs and completing important cycles, we are considering the lessons of energy from April and July 2000 and November 2006 (the previous time Jupiter was in Sagittarius).

What were you doing then that is coming back around now? How is your life different today than it was then? More importantly, how much has your awareness expanded today, giving you access to new frequencies, vibrations, potentials, and possibilities? *note: Jupiter was in Gemini, Sagittarius’ opposite sign, in 2000.

Not only are we are going to be seeing the continued implosion of 3D density timelines in the face of the 5D integration and expansion, anything that constricts our energy, is not supportive of this integration or is opposed to it, is going to have its day of reckoning. The karma wheel is turning now and it is seeking completion and closure or, if we choose that path, it will start another karma cycle for us.

Jupiter moving into Sagittarius, a sign it rules, brings forward the concepts of higher thinking, philosophy, legal issues and law, spirituality, and justice. In ancient astrology Jupiter ruled Pisces, the sign of spirituality, the unseen world, and the illusion. Jupiter governs justice which we tend to think of in terms of courts and law but justice refers to fairness, balance, and equilibrium.

All wrongdoing must be righted, giving must be balanced with receiving, competition is replaced with collaboration, and justice must not be tilted in favor of one person or another. This is a tenet of the spiritual path, that everything must be balanced. We cannot be a giver and not receive, we cannot be a healer and not focus on our own healing, we cannot be made powerless without having a chance to reclaim our power.

Jupiter also brings the truth to light in ways we cannot ignore. Sagittarius is the archer who shoots arrows of truth with laser accuracy. Do you think that being the biggest planet in our solar system gives Jupiter extra ‘weight’ in issues? I think so.

Energetic sovereignty is the outcome of this month’s energy and the moon’s node change reflects that as well.

The nodes changing sign are also a big event this month because they are an indicator of generational energies and shifts. In April 2000 the nodes moved into Cancer/Capricorn where they will be again this month. Think of the changes we have seen in the world since 2000 and all of the disappointments as the turn of the century did not bring the peace, joy, love, and abundance to us and to the world that we thought it would. That period also brought corporate dominance into the world stage. We saw the rise of the ‘corporatocracy’; some would call it the ’corruptocracy’. Now that concept gets re-visited in a new light as the karma wheel turns again.

Will we continue to see the multinational corporations continue to dominate the world? I don’t think so. Monsanto, one of the world’s biggest and, in my opinion, most destructive multinational corporations, was recently acquired by Bayer, another large multinational. Then, in a surprising court ruling, a California groundskeeper won a $278 million verdict in a lawsuit against Monsanto because the jury agreed that their herbicide caused his cancer. While the verdict amount was reduced to $78 million, the legal precedent was set, opening the door to over 1500 lawsuits against Monsanto for similar health issues caused by its herbicide products. Bayer stock is quickly losing value and the company won’t be able to afford the verdict payments in subsequent lawsuits. Karma in action? Is justice served? You decide. Monsanto is also responsible for the development and production of GMO products, which were secretly introduced into the food supply in 1995.

This principle applies to our lives relative to how we have been using our energies and where we are out of balance, not in equilibrium, not congruent or aligned with our own ascension path of divine congruence and harmony. How can we use November’s themes of justice and karma in our lives? Think of where your life is out of balance – where are you giving more than you are receiving? Where are you dimming your light so others can shine or won’t be blinded? Who are you trying to heal and what karmic cycles need to be ended?

These are important questions and they have big implications so you’ll need to consider them carefully. But the ascension path needs to continue to expand and these are our biggest limiters to forward movement and expansion.

As November opens Venus is retrograde in Libra, covering ground it first went over in September. Libra’s glyph is the scales and it rules relationships and partnerships. This is more encouragement to seek balance in our energy and with those we are connected too. We cannot always be the giver, the healer, the supporter, and the light for everyone without pausing occasionally to fill our own glass from the well of joy.

And we have the final Mercury retrograde of 2018 that begins on November 17 (the day after Venus turns direct) and that lasts until December 4. All of the normal Mercury retro cautions apply, double check communications, read everything before you sign it, expect travel delays, and expect some aspect of the past to rise up.

But there is another aspect of this Mercury retro that is a blast from the past. It ends its retro period in the final degrees of Scorpio, the degrees Saturn slowly crossed from June to September 2015. Every time I see a retrograde over those degrees it reminds me of that tough period in 2015 when everything seemed to be so hard, so much was dredged up, and we had to battle our own fears to keep moving forward.

As we continue through these cycles, and they do get more enlightened and easier as we move along, those final degrees of Scorpio will continue to trigger strong change, introspection, and release of stuck energy.

As if the Evolution Revolution needed any more help this month, Uranus goes back into Aries and covering ground it first went over in July 2017. More of the past rises up for justice and karma review. Remember the reason is not punishment or revenge, it is to achieve equilibrium and balance, so look at everything through that lens.

Along with Uranus in Aries we have Eris, the social justice warrior, also in Aries. Uranus and Eris have been traveling together since 2016, empowering people everywhere to stand up for their truth and social change that removes corruption, evil, and injustice. In the past few years we have learned a lot about the injustice and evils done to the most vulnerable, weakest, and most disenfranchised people around the world, especially women and children.

We can thank Eris for that knowledge and Uranus for the strong action taken to fight against it. The evil has existed for centuries – now we know about it. That battle moves forward into a bigger effort now and we are united, as the family of humanity, against those who wish to harm others in the name of greed, power, and corruption.

Don’t forget about Chiron, the wounded warrior, which is in Pisces this month, where it will strengthen Jupiter’s time in Sagittarius and is also heavily active at this time. Soul wounds are triggered and activated for healing and release. Your most painful lessons are always your greatest sources of empowerment. This is your point of pain that you can turn into your point of empowerment.

The November new moon in Scorpio on the 7th assists us in finding comfort and peace after digging deeply to find the sources of our pain. Normally a Scorpio new or full moon can be very emotionally painful. This one presents a new option, the congruent harmony, peace, joy, and divinity that are possible when we are willing to release our emotional baggage and engage our intuition and spirit to uncover our real truth and wear it proudly.

The full moon of the 23rd is at 0 Gemini, shining its light brightly on Jupiter, newly placed in its ruling sign, ready to balance the scales of truth, justice, and the divine path.

And here’s an interesting observation, the 15th degree of any sign is the balance point, which holds the full energy of the sign. It is also the number representing divine harmony, spiritual and material balance, and manifestation. From November to April 2019, all of the new moons are at 15 degrees.

November 2018 continues the move towards the big Saturn/Pluto Capricorn conjunction and stellium of 2020, a once in 500+ year alignment. If you add the big group of planets that will also be in Capricorn at the time, it’s probably more like a once in 5000 years event. All of the planets are moving into position over the next 14 months. We are going to see the balancing out of self sovereignty versus corporate rulership over the next two years and probably a rise in entrepreneurs and business startups as more people leave their jobs to pursue their own dreams, gifts, passions, and talents.

The Cancer/Capricorn node change in 2000 saw massive job layoffs (I am a veteran of those) and corporate restructuring with the loss of lifetime employment and job and career security. Many people lost their jobs and had to change careers or start a business. I predict that this new cycle is going to feature people voluntarily leaving the corporate world to pursue their dreams. Most will work from home, that is part of the Cancer North Node and step into self empowered self sovereignty, that is the Capricorn South Node.

We’ll also probably see more emotional healing that will allow new relationships to begin on a less karma-based and more balanced basis with strong boundaries that help us keep our energy flows managed, aligned with our intention, and going in the direction of our manifestation and outcomes.

Your Point of Empowerment this month is self awareness, self sovereignty, and moving from healing into wholeness into congruence. That is the healing path which is our soul mission and life purpose.

Be in your own energy field and power, take a stand for your self sovereignty. Have strong energy boundaries that manage the flow of your energy and allow you to be in control of what you manifest in your life.

Avoid staring at the closing doors and face the new portals of potential that open up for you instead.  What has ‘run out of energy road’ is no longer a source of empowerment for you. Ascension is a dynamic process, change is an inevitable consequence of that process. While chaos does happen when paradigms dis-integrate, it can be temporary when we have a strong intention to guide our energy into new dimensions of manifestation that can create joy, peace, prosperity, and congruent harmony out of the chaos.

Buckle up buttercups, it’s going to be a high vibe, wild ride this month. Have a wonderful month.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for Wednesday, November 7th

Write down or record Technicolor dreams and astral sojourns as the moon in Scorpio trines visionary Neptune in Pisces (5:32am). Wait until the new moon energizes 16 degrees of Scorpio (8:03am) before launching any bold plans. Plus, since a trio of challenging heavenly aspects intrudes into the psychic atmosphere of humanity, it is wise to be eminently honest and pure in your motives. The triple threat includes Vesta uniting with Pluto at 20 degrees of Capricorn (11:33am), Ceres forming a potentially disturbing, 150-degree tie to Chiron (7:14pm), and Jupiter provoking Uranus via another dicey, 150-degree contact (10:21pm). Playing fast and loose with the truth can send you to the back of the class with a dunce cap on your head. Avoid making major decisions, investments and long-term commitments since the celestial environment is too disjointed. Get ready for Jupiter’s entry into upbeat, optimism-boosting Sagittarius at 4:40am tomorrow.

HELLO, DARKNESS! IT’S THE NOVEMBER NEW MOON IN SCORPIO NOVEMBER 5, 2018

HELLO, DARKNESS! IT’S THE NOVEMBER NEW MOON IN SCORPIO

  • RACHEL CELESTE HANSEN

On November 7 at 8:01am PST, the new moon will be in Scorpio.

When we talk about new moons, we usually emphasize the “lighter” side: starting fresh, setting positive intentions, and making magic. But at the new moon in Scorpio, we need to talk about the darkness.

After all, those few nights each month when the moon is invisible are where the realmagic happens.  At this time, we naturally withdraw from outward-directed activity and focus our energies within. Everything falls away but the essential core, which becomes the seed for our creative vision in the next lunar cycle.

Yes, death and rebirth go hand-in-hand at any new moon—but while some signs are uncomfortable facing this reality, the November 2018 new moon in Scorpio looks it straight in the eye.

 

WHAT DOES THE NEW MOON IN SCORPIO MEAN?

With intense focus and penetrating insight, Scorpio sees it all. But with this fixed water sign, what we see is often just the tip of the iceberg. There’s a whole lot more going on beneath the surface: subtle energies, subconscious motives, and suppressed emotions.

Scorpio plays its cards close to the vest, and at the November 2018 new moon in Scorpio, we’re likely to do the same. We know what we desire, and we’re determined to get it. But we’re wary of discussing our intentions with anyone else—that might take away their power.

And power is a big deal to Scorpio. What else would you expect from a sign ruled by both Mars and Pluto? Mars, the ancient ruler, represents the personal or “lower” will. Modern ruler Pluto represents the “higher” will—whether that’s destiny, evolution, or our belief in a Higher Power.

The secret to mastering Scorpio’s energy—and rising above negative expressions like manipulation and possessiveness—is putting the lower will in the service of the higher.

 

HOROSCOPES FOR THE NOVEMBER 2018 NEW MOON IN SCORPIO

 

SCORPIO

Rising from the ashes: You’ve done it before, Scorpio, and like your spirit animal the phoenix, you’re about to do it again. The question is, what new reality are you “rising” into? It doesn’t have to be a final destination, just your latest incarnation. But don’t be afraid to aim high—at this new moon, you’ve got the wind beneath your wings.

 

SAGITTARIUS

The brighter the light, the darker the shadow, Sagittarius. But the shadow isn’t all bad, you know—in fact, we bet there are more buried treasures than skeletons in your closet. And at this new moon, it’s time to start digging for gold. Reclaim something you’ve repressed or disowned about yourself, and let it finally see the light of day.

 

CAPRICORN

You’re really going places, Capricorn, and your intense focus and determination are guaranteed to get you there. But by the time you reach your objective, will it still be what you want? After all, people change—so for your goals to stay relevant, they’ve got to evolve along with you. At this new moon, get real about what’s driving you now.

 

AQUARIUS

Patti Smith was right, Aquarius: “People have the power.” But your ability to tune into collective energy is more like a superpower.  The only question is, do you use it for good or evil? At this new moon, you can channel the energy of the group to achieve anything you set your mind to—so please, keep the greater good in mind.

 

PISCES

“Love and light” may sound like New Age fluff to some, but you know better, Pisces. You’ve been through some dark nights of the soul, and emerged on the other side of those experiences with a new and undeniable radiance.  This new moon offers spiritual experiences that could be just as transcendent; sharing them with others makes them truly transformative.

 

ARIES

Forbidden fruit just tastes better, doesn’t it, Aries? But some taboos exist for a reason—so before you break the rules, ask yourself just what those reasons are. After all, once you’ve crossed the line, the damage is done. That’s not to say you shouldn’t take risks at this new moon… but if you’re going to do it, do it with your eyes open.

 

TAURUS

Power couples have each other’s backs, Taurus—but what they don’t do is hold each other back. A real “dynamic duo” is one where both people are free to evolve. True, there’s always a chance you might outgrow each other (and we know that’s a scary thought). But at this new moon, for the relationship to grow, you’re gonna need some space.

 

GEMINI

Burning the candle at both ends—you can get away with it better than most of us, Gemini, but that doesn’t make it any better for your health. Sooner or later, that candle’s going to burn out if you don’t balance activity (both mental and physical) with rest. This can be a healing new moon, if you take time out to recharge your batteries.

 

CANCER

You’re not as shy as you pretend to be, Cancer—you’re just waiting for the right moment to come out of your shell. Being selective about when, where, and with whom certainly adds to your mystique. But still, you’ve got to let your guard down once in a while to have a good time.  This new moon might be the moment you’ve been waiting for!

 

LEO

Pride isn’t everything, Leo, especially where family is concerned. Sure, you may hold the moral high ground in a family dispute, but there’s a lot more power in forgiveness than there is in nursing a grudge. Putting the past behind you may not be easy, but at this new moon, it’s something you can really pride yourself on.

 

VIRGO

Little details can make a big difference, Virgo. But not all of them are worthy of your attention. Some of them are just red herrings… and if you fixate too much on those, you could disappear down an unproductive rabbit hole. This new moon awakens your inner detective—but make sure the mystery you’re obsessing over is actually worth solving.

 

LIBRA

It’s not polite to talk about money, Libra, but that’s one rule of etiquette you can afford to break. After all, money itself is neither “good” nor “bad”—what matters is how you get it, how you use it, and what that says about your values. And at this new moon, it’s time to take an honest look at your own finances.

New Moon in Scorpio

Moon in Scorpio creates the need to delve into your feelings as deep as possible. You desire meaningful emotional exchanges now more than at any other time even if it is not easy and you are forced to change many things. Shallow relationships do not satisfy you, because they are not purifying enough.

 

Organs influenced by Scorpio Moon Sign:

Organs: Genitals, rectum, anus, urethra, genital glands, ovaries, prostate, pubic bone, genes.

These organs are now more sensitive so provide them with extra care.

Surgical operations:

Surgical operations are not recommended during the New Moon.
*Note: Just ran across this site and it is a great site. I grew up with the belief that there were certain days you were suppose to cut your hair, have surgery and the such. I also was taught that each phase of the moon influences the body and I believe that is true.
This site give you information on what is a good day to have an operation, what part of the body the signs are in, good site, check it out if you have a minute Astro Seek

The Witches Current Moon Phase for Wednesday, November 7th

Celtic Myst
The Witches Current Moon Phase for Wednesday, November 7th

New Moon
Illumination: 0%

Tomorow the Moon will be in a New Moon phase. During this phase the Moon is to close to the sun in the sky to be visible. The moon rises and sets with the sun and is not present in the night sky. Because of this the night sky is darker and an excellent time to view other celestial objects. Like the Full Moon, a New Moon happens at a very specific time when the sun and moon have the same ecliptic longitude and it can be measured down to the second it occurs.

Phase: New Moon
Illumination: 0%
Moon Age: 29.36 days
Moon Angle: 0.52
Moon Distance: 384,319.18 km
Sun Angle: 0.54
Sun Distance: 148,227,218.13 km

A Call To Lord And Lady

 

She lives and breathes upon the Earth
Her wheel spins round the hub of June
She is the web of life and birth
Her smile floats softly with the moon

Heart of life, and caring mother
Loving sister, noble princess
Firebird spirit, restless lover
Shadowy hidden sorceress

His strength is there in mountains high
His lightning flies from air and cloud
His horn heralds the wild hunt’s ride
He quickens forest, roaring proud

Children’s friend, protecting father
Watchful brother, noble fighter
Laughing wise one, dark magister
Player of pipes, thoughtful shepherd

Their faces many, countless names
Pan, Diana, Zeus, Astarte
Teachers from dreams, oracle’s flames
Speak, and guide us within our hearts

Well how is everyone doing today? Miss me? Of course you did, lol! I have to admit I am rather tired after yesterday. You have to arrive at the poll stations no later than 5:45 a.m., then you don’t leave till about 6:45 p.m., that evening. It makes for one looooong day to say the least. But I enjoyed it. At first, I was really beginning to wonder if they were going to let me volunteer. In the early morning hours, I am not in the mood for a person with a sense of humor. Anyway, when I arrived there and went in, this man came running up to me. I sort of jumped back and he asked me, “what party are you affiliated with?” I really didn’t see that was a concern of his so I ignored him. He followed me and kept asking the same damn question over and over again. I finally stopped and told him, ” I am with the Pagan Party Affiliated.” Would you believe he didn’t know what a Pagan was. I told him to look it up. You have to take into consideration I had had only one cup of coffee. I don’t function without a pot of coffee.

Then I took Kade with me. He was throwing a fit to go bye-bye. The boys were still asleep so to keep from waking them up. I took Kade with me. Around noon, Kade got restless and called them to come and get him. I told them to be sure and give him his medicine. Oh brother, did they ever. Apparently they gave him to much, which won’t hurt him, it just gives him the poops. So this morning I have puppy pads all over the office floor. It looks like I have new carpeting in here, puppy pad shag, lol!

But all in all it was a good day. I like to get out and meet the neighbors once a year. That’s enough socializing with them for me. Most of them are older and they love to talk. They all want to catch up on what you have been doing since the last time they saw you. Oh well, that was a year ago, let’s see. Thank the Goddess there was a man there hollering, “Next!” Or I believe some of them would have stayed and talked all day. But our election events are more like a community get together than anything else.

I overslept this morning so as usual, we are running late. So how about us just jumping right straight into the astrology and the horoscopes. We have a ton of stuff we didn’t finish the other day about November, so we can start there. If you don’t mind.

I hope all of you got out yesterday and went to vote. Working at the polls, I was the first one in line and the last one to leave. Don’t know if that was such a good deal or not, hmm? Anyway, let’s get this show on the road, what’cha say?

Love ya,

Lady A

By Tarot.com Staff

Zodiac Signs, Tarot Reading, Tarot Cards, Tarot

Welcome to the week of November 5! Each week a card will be pulled for your zodiac sign, offering the guidance and insight needed to maximize your opportunities and avoid any obstacles headed your way. Reveal the message the Tarot has for YOU now!

Aries Tarotscope (March 21 – April 19)

Your card for the week: Queen of Cups

The Queen of Cups indicates emotional maturity, compassion, and a nurturing spirit. This week you are being called to express this energy in some way. Perhaps a friend approaches you with relationship troubles, or it could be that a colleague is coming to you for support with a problem they’re facing. When this happens, listen from the heart as they speak but remain emotionally separated from the issue. While it may be tempting to dive head-first into the situation with them, understand that only they can work themselves out of their predicament.

 

Taurus Tarotscope (April 20 – May 20)

Your card for the week: Knight of Pentacles

Have you had your head in the clouds recently? The Knight of Pentacles is urging you to come back down to Earth this week and apply effort to your ideas this week. Maybe you’ve been suffering from a case of “all talk and no action.” Alternately, you could be putting off your day-to-day responsibilities in favor of more exciting offers. No matter what your situation, you’re being encouraged to create a plan of action or stick to a routine as progress is best achieved through discipline.

 

Gemini Tarotscope (May 21 – June 20)

Your card for the week: 6 of Wands

Victory is yours this week! The 6 of Wands is a card of resolution and honor. It’s indicating that not only have you worked hard and achieved your goals, but you’re starting to gain recognition because of them. Have you gotten praise from higher ups at your company for your efforts on a project? Have you put a new health regime into place and others are taking notice? Soak it in. You may be inclined to brush off this kind of recognition, but now is not the time to bashful. It’s OK to be acknowledged for your achievements, so bask in this moment.

 

Cancer Tarotscope (June 21 – July 22)

Your card for the week: Ace of Pentacles

The Ace of Pentacles is signaling that an abundance of new opportunities in your material world are emerging for you this week. Have you been feeling stalled in you career? Has an investment not paid off the way you thought it would? Have you been unable to make money from an idea you had? That could all change now! Keep your eyes and ears peeled as a new beginning in any of these areas could be just around the corner. Whether you decide to take advantage of them is up to you, but they will be there for the taking.

 

Leo Tarotscope (July 23 – Aug. 22)

Your card for the week: 10 of Swords

The 10 of Swords acknowledges you are going through a painful time right now. Perhaps you’ve been betrayed, or it could be you’re experiencing a period of things crashing down on you. These types of experiences are never pleasant to go through, but this week you’re being called to focus on the new beginning that this ending can make way for. Even though you may feel like you’ve hit rock bottom, take solace in the fact that there’s nowhere else to go but up. Remember, obstacles can be opportunities in disguise.

 

Virgo Tarotscope (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)

Your card for the week: 6 of Cups

The 6 of Cups is about the past impacting the present. This week, you’re being called to examine whether or not you’re tethered to your past in some way. While it’s true we sometimes need to look in the rearview mirror as a way of informing current or future decisions, we can easily become stuck living in the past if we’re not careful. Don’t let nostalgia or distorted memories prevent you from making progress and appreciating what’s happening in the here and now. Allow your past to be a source of improvement rather than a source of stagnation.

 

Libra Tarotscope (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)

Your card for the week: The Lovers

You could be facing a major decision this week! This situation may be presenting a moral dilemma for you, and The Lovers card represents needing to becoming clearer on what your values and beliefs are before determining how to proceed. Do you feel compelled to go a certain direction based on fears or feelings of guilt? Don’t let those things become motivating factors. Instead, try to understand that every action has a reaction and decisions such as these are never easy. Stay true to yourself — you can’t go wrong.

 

Scorpio Tarotscope (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

Your card for the week: Knight of Wands

The Knight of Wands is an impulsive card, indicating feelings of restlessness that can lead to turbulence in your life. This week, you’re being asked to look at a decision you’re facing and consider the consequences of acting in haste. You may have been ready to choose which path to take, but perhaps you should take a second look before you leap. This isn’t an easy thing to do when you’re excited about something, but this card serves as a reminder that a well-laid plan makes for long-term success.

 

Sagittarius Tarotscope (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

Your card for the week: The Chariot

The Chariot is a card that encourages willpower, action, and self-control. This week, you’re being asked to step into your power and bravely take the reins as you propel yourself toward a goal you have. This is no time to passively wait for good things to happen to you. This card knows that anything worth having requires hard work and discipline. By strapping on your emotional and mental armor, you allow yourself to charge into your future, undeterred by whatever obstacles pop up along the way.

 

Capricorn Tarotscope (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)

Your card for the week: 2 of Cups

The 2 of Cups recognizes that partnership is going to be center stage for you this week. This could be someone you’re romantically linked to, or this could be a professional ally. Even though the relationship you have with this person is still in the early stages, it has the potential to grow into something that will benefit the both of you long-term. Spend time cultivating this partnership, while also rejoicing in the fact that your combined forces and mutual admiration will take you both far.

 

Aquarius Tarotscope (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)

Your card for the week: Queen of Swords

Get ready to sit high upon your throne this week! The Queen of Swords is incredibly perceptive, embodying an intellectual sharpness and maturity that helps her tune out the noise of emotion and outside opinion. You could be facing a decision now or in the near future, and this card is serving as a reminder to rely on your logic and to look at all the facts before proceeding. You have an abundance of experience and wisdom that you can draw upon, so make sure to utilize it.

 

Pisces Tarotscope (Feb. 19 – March 20)

Your card for the week: Temperance

Temperance is a card of balance and moderation. Receiving this card signifies a need to keep a more go-with-the-flow attitude, practicing patience and adaptability as best you can. Perhaps you’ve been resisting a change in your life or letting a stressful situation get the best of you. If this is the case, change your approach this week. Allow things to slide off your back instead of meeting them with resistance. By finding your inner balance, you set yourself up to find your outer balance once again.

Tarot Card of the Day for November 5 is Ten of Fire

Ten of Fire

November 5, 2018

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 This suit, most often called “Wands” and sometimes called “Rods” or “Staves,” represents initiative, ambition, drive and desire. This is the suit of enterprise and risk-taking.

The Ten of this suit represents an all-out effort, an obsessive commitment to a task which demands everything you’ve got. The person shown in decks with pictures is in no position to rest until he makes it inside the stout walls of the well-defended castle in the distance. If he fails, he will become prey for the highway robbers after dark.

It doesn’t matter that he’s overloaded and underfed. With this card, you have to do whatever it takes to get to completion — nothing can be allowed to interfere.

Your Zodiac Sign’s Biggest Stress Triggers

Find out your zodiac sign’s areas of anxiety

By Simone Butler

Astrology, Health, Zodiac

With the rapid pace of modern life, stress is a given. Unless you’ve reached nirvana and left the cares of the world behind, you’re bound to get tense from time to time. Some things are universal stressors: ill health, financial problems, and traffic jams when you’re already late. However, what bothers a Gemini (everyone else is so slow!) is quite different from what gets to a Virgo who’s trying to fix everything, or a Cancer who’s struggling to feel safe. What stresses you out the most, and what can you do about it?

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

You count on your dynamic Ram energy to get you through the day, and feel vulnerable when it runs out. Especially when you’re down or ill, you feel overwhelmed and stress about all the tasks you can’t accomplish. You’re used to playing Superman or Superwoman, and forget to take time off and be a lazy slug. Be religious about setting aside at least one full day a week to play or do nothing. Life will continue without you!

 

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

More than anything else, Taurus, you want to be seen as competent. That’s why you take your time to do things right. When a difficult task looms, you fear you won’t have enough time to do it properly and might mess it up. As a peacemaker, you also stress when you’ve hurt someone’s feelings or can’t resolve a dispute. Fall back on your infallible instincts and trust that your true worth and honesty will ultimately prevail.

 

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

You don’t suffer fools, Gemini. When the car in front of you pulls a bone-headed move in traffic, your stress-o-meter hits the roof. And, little things get to you — like words being mispronounced or misspelled. You’re apt to blow a gasket dealing with slow or stubborn people, where you feel like you’re talking to a wall. You need regular activities that calm your overactive mind, like yoga or throwing pots in a ceramics class.

 

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Feeling unsafe is a sure ticket to stress for you. The Crab puts up a front that makes you seem tougher than you really are, so others don’t realize how deeply you’re affected by criticism, angry outbursts or being ignored. You often swallow your feelings — it’s vital to let people know what you need instead of retreating into your shell and nursing a stress-related ulcer. Breathe into your belly: your true security lies there.

 

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Any situation where you’re not in control and don’t know what to do is your stress trigger, Leo. A computer breakdown can send you from zero to freak-out in no time flat. Not being able to find something you’ve lost could also fry your circuits. Even falling in love can fill you with raging hormones and vulnerabilities that turn your kingly or queenly self into an insecure child. Let go and accept what is: you’ll be much happier.

 

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

You think too much, Virgo — which accounts for your greatest stress. Just the thought of attempting something new and unfamiliar can tie you in knots, but once you’re actually doing it, you’re fine. Making lists will help. You also stress when someone you love is struggling or in pain. Rather than trying to fix things for others, utilize your powerful visualization skills to imagine a positive outcome — then trust that all is well.

 

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Not being treated fairly is very stressful for you, Libra. You’ll spend hours weighing the pros and cons of confronting someone — so much so, you can even make yourself sick! Rather than seething in silence or overreacting defensively, respond calmly in the moment. Keep it short and sweet and curb the long-winded speeches or accusations. You’ll get better results once people know where you stand. An uncluttered environment will also keep you serene.

 

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Others don’t realize how sensitive you are, Scorpio, because you hide it well. Yours is a quiet strength — so loud yelling and noise in general can quickly stress you out. You also feel tense and nervous when you don’t get enough privacy. Deadlines are another source of stress for you: you’d rather take your time than rush to finish things. Be sure people know your needs and boundaries so you can negotiate what works for all.

 

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

You’re all about movement, Sagittarius, so sitting in traffic is your own personal hell. You’re also not big on formal events or business meetings where you have to act properly and “behave” according to corporate culture. Any situation that reins you in, like a partner pressuring you for a commitment or a boss demanding you punch in at a time clock, can trigger stress. Make sure you get enough time outdoors to feed your restless spirit so you won’t feel so constrained.

 

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

You demand a lot from yourself, Capricorn. And, you feel pressured when you fail to live up to your high expectations. You can end up going over the “what ifs” or “if onlys” of life ’til you’re all lathered up, asking questions that can’t be answered or longing for what you can’t have. The remedy is to live in the moment, the only place where joy can be found. And, be sure there’s plenty of time to relax in your hectic day.

 

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

Though “live and let live” is your motto, Aquarius, you really like to have your way. You get frustrated when you can’t justify doing what you want without a good reason. Nor can you abide people who try to bend your will to theirs. Already high-strung, you become stressed by the pressures of time, and often feel there’s not enough of it. Yet ironically, by slowing down you’ll actually get more done and feel more relaxed.

 

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

You’re a very private person, Pisces, so public speaking or other situations in which you feel exposed can be stressful. Subtlety is your strong suit; you feel unnerved by loud music and crass people. And, you get nervous or even sick because you don’t know how to shield yourself from invasions. Adopt the attitude “This too shall pass,” and be sure you’re getting plenty of time alone to process your emotions and clear your slate.
